I searches the recipe and methods of making kuih-muih. With the ingredients readily available, i decided to make kuih koci. But i am a little lazy. I do not want to wrap the kuih with banana leave which it suppose to be. I just steam them and transfer to the paper muffin cups. The traditional and original way of kuih koci should be wrapped with banana leaves and shaped like a cone. It would make the kuih taste better too with the aroma of banana leaves.
My simple way of kuih koci is like below:
Ingredients:
1 bag of glutinous rice flour
1/2 cup of pandan extract
2 tablespoon of sugar
1 cup of coconut milk
a pinch of salt
Fillings:
300g of grated coconut
3-4 tablespoon of brown sugar (adjust according to desire sweetness)
50ml of coconut milk
2 tablespoons corn starch (melt in water)
To make the fillings:
In a pan, melt the brown sugar and add in the coconut milk. Then put in the grated coconut. Stir until well combine and the grated coconut turn brown color. Add the corn starch and stir well. Let it cool.
To make the dough:
In another sauce pan, combine sugar, salt, coconut milk and pandan extract. Bring to boil. Let it cold down. Put the glutinous rice flour in a big mixing bowl. Pour the solution into the glutinous rice flour slowly and keand until it become a smooth dough. If it is too wet, add some glutinous rice flour, or coconut milk if it is too dry. Let it sit for 1/2 hour.
After that, roll the dough out and divided into several portions. Shape each portion like a ball. Flatten the ball put one tablespoon of the filling in the center of the skin. Fold the edges and form a ball. Put it aside. Repeat for the rest them.
Grease the steam pan. Put the kuih on it and steam for 20 minutes. When it is done, transfer the kuih to the paper muffin cup.
If you cannnot finish the kuih in one serving, keep it refrigerated. You can microware it for 30 seconds the next time you want to eat it.
